Jack, that is great. I would love to see more. You know how crazy I am about the Belle.

That is great. Notice the picture of Margaret Polk in the cockpit. The photo went with him on all 25 missions, and will be placed in the same location when restoration is complete. Funny story about the yokes. While in Memphis someone stole them, then felt so bad about it, mailed them back to Capt. Morgan.

That's cool! Does the NMUSAF have the original picture, or will a reproduction be used in the restoration?

The original picture along with alot of other items are in the care of Linda Morgan, she is giving us the items when we are ready for them. She has the original log books for the aircraft, and Robert Morgan's, as well as his other items. It is going to be an amazing display.

All these pictures I have I've never seen before anywhere and you seem amazed when I put one up and you're the wix Belle expert.
Doesn't the AFM have any good shots?

They have alot of great shots, but most of them seem to be of the Belle at different bases and stuff. At least those are the ones that I have had the chance to explore.
